Stuck on "Clean" language?

madmax

I'm not stuck on this language thing and don't really care what is written. In the past we have had a few really young contributers who were "allowed" by their parents to read and post on this forum. The posts on the site you could read today would surely eliminate this from happening in the future.

I will eliminate profane language from my posts

Sorry and thanks for the reminder

I've also noticed the increase in unclean language. I certainly can't say I haven't contributed, but I try to keep it down most of the time. I agree with your suggestion, Max.

If Matt Polk actually read this forum he would wash Micah’s mouth out with soap.

See? We're good guys. I know we are. We just get carried away sometimes. I really appreciate you guys self-policing. We'll get a lot more done, share a lot more good information, and have a lot more fun when we act like this.

Thanks!

Micah, you are one to talk, aren't you the one that made F*** Thread? J/K

For whatever it is worth now, I will also cut down on profanity. I would surely never use that kind of language in the Technical Forum, they would never take you serious, so I guess I won't use it here either.

I just recently started posting here, and found the environment very relaxed, so I figured that cussing was the norm. Sorry.



Micah you should make a cussing script. Whenever someone cusses, you have to highlight it with your mouse to see it. Kind of like a spoiler script.

ok! i will try to not use profane language on my post. some times its hard not to .

those folks over in the Technical forum, they are the same ones in the Opinion Forum so why would profanity offend there but not here?

I curse as much as the next guy but I think for GP's I like the idea of a kinder, gentler forum.

I enjoy swearing, it makes me feel good.I like saying those powerfull word's.They get right to the point.But there is young people in here,I'm not cool with using those strong word's.There is no age limit on this site, is there??
I don't think so.

i am down with all the replys, i my self try not to use "swear words" often just because they can make a person sound stupid if used often...
but ....
when did they become bad to say, after all sh#t (notice that with the i gone it is ok ???) is just another word for: ****, poo, **** ect. should these be considered "swear words". Should we was kids mouths out with soap and punish them for using these acceptable words ???
dam is only a bad word when there is an 'N' put in it...
or am i just getting to DEEP ?

thats pretty deep ntculenuff!!!I had to get a shovel................................... and wah my knee's.

Madmax001 makes a good point. I cuss like a pirate, but not in front of everyone. Here you don't really know who all you are speaking to. So what the heck, I will try to refrain from so much darn cussing. Shoot I think we can get our dadgum ideas across with out using foul language. Gee-whiz I feel better already.

I am just saying that if you are giving people advice, they won't listen if you say, "Try this F***ing speaker out. Plug da S*** in there and that is how you f***ing do it." Do you get my point?

mantis

I would!!

madmax

I don't mind making a f#in bold statement once in a while myself. At least when it's semi-spelled like that it is somewhat tolerable by all, or at least most, well, maybe some. Anyone? Aw $hit, what have I started. Someone is going to report this post to micah arent they. @#$%#****
